No, not necessarily with religious connotations. Follow the citations given. Wikipedia is fine in this context.

Um, no, it wasn't. It was a transaction, usually for property. Marriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Would you join a poltical party Lol yes, because socialism and conservatism/libertarianism are very similar indeed.

Re: Would you join a poltical party Ditto.

Who says that? Religion, when it got involved in marriage, and the government/law, which took its cues from religion. Not necessarily an unbiased authority, eh.

Technically a Fail, but they bumped you up to a Pass.

Not necessarily.

You're assuming that society should determine the morality of sex between two consenting adults. Pedophilia involves children, incapable of giving consent. Don't be a dipshit.

That's what we're saying. We don't necessarily need an "ethical framework" - it's already there.

Um. No? I would say it's an immoral action according to my beliefs. Lol whut?

I haven't done any ethical philosophy (or any philosophy). I wish I'd been able to, though, as I can kind of sense that my knowledge in this area is very very basic.

That assumes incorrectly that one can't be both.

I think it's a fallacy, actually, that we have operated under the "moral framework" or philosophy as posed by the Bible, as those have inherently been derived by.. what we had already evolved. It was taking cues from something we already developed (i.e. we didn't need to be told not to kill and...

Um, evolution does not tell us to not kill each other. Even our current relativistic morality says that killing is acceptable in certain situations, such as self defence. I think I'm way out of my depth here, to be honest, and I am not ashamed to admit it. You lost me when you started talking...

You may like to read a book by Jared Diamond, called Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee. Also, anything regarding sociobiology, including those by E. O. Wilson. I genuinely don't think a moral framework is necessary, because as I said, morality is innate and required for social species of...

Yeah, actually, I do.

Evolutionary explanations and justifications for moral behaviour that society exhibits suffice for me. I don't think we need a moral framework; it's innate (and required) in social animals.

Why do you need a moral philosophy? How would you define one? (If you can't tell, I'm having trouble answering that question).

Oy, I finished on 05.

This. Sex is awesome.
